Vegan Apple Bread [Oil Free]
Description
The recipe uses whole wheat flour for a hearty base, balanced by coconut sugar and warming spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg to complement the diced apples folded into the batter. Unsweetened applesauce and soy milk keep the loaf moist without using oil. The optional cinnamon swirl adds a layered sweetness and aromatic touch within the bread.
The batter should be mixed gently to avoid overworking, preserving texture, and the diced apples are cut small to distribute evenly throughout. The loaf is baked in a parchment-lined pan at 350°F until mostly dry to a toothpick test, yielding a moist yet well-structured bread.
Leftover slices keep well at room temperature for a couple of days, in the refrigerator up to five days, or frozen for three months. Proper measuring and gentle mixing help achieve consistent results, while adding lemon juice to the apples or preparing them shortly before mixing prevents browning. This bread makes a wholesome snack or breakfast treat without oil.
Ingredients
- 270 grams whole wheat flour approx 2 ¼ cups (use weight for most accuracy)
- ½ cup coconut sugar unrefined
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1.5 cups apples dice them very small, diced
- ½ cup applesauce unsweetened
- 1 cup soy milk
Optional Sweet Cinnamon Swirl
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar unrefined
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉/176℃ and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Add all the dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl and whisk. Then add the applesauce and soy milk and stir until no dry bits remain, without overmixing. Then, fold in the diced apples, reserving a small handful for sprinkling on top.
- OPTIONAL: If using the cinnamon swirl, mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Then pour half of the apple bread batter into your loaf pan and sprinkle the sweet cinnamon mixture on top in an even layer. (You may reserve a small amount of the mixture to sprinkle on top of the second half of the batter if you'd like.) Then pour the remaining half of the batter on top of the swirl, doing your best to evenly spread it across, without mixing the swirl into the batter. If you've reserved some apple pieces, sprinkle those on top, gently press them down and sprinkle any remaining sugar/cinnamon mixture on top of the apples.
- If skipping the cinnamon swirl, pour the entire batter into your prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the reserved apple pieces on top.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of your loaf comes out mostly clean, or with a few crumbs. Then remove it from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes on a cooling rack before transferring the loaf to a cutting board. Continue cooling for another 5-10 minutes if you can wait (it makes slicing easier). Then slice your loaf and enjoy.
Notes
- Store leftover bread covered at room temperature for 2 days, refrigerated up to 5 days, or frozen up to 3 months. Ensure loaf is fully cooled before freezing.
- Weigh flour for accuracy; if measuring by volume, spoon and level without scooping to avoid packing.
- Mix batter until just combined to avoid over-mixing, folding in diced apples gently for even distribution.
- Dice apples very small for better distribution within the bread.
- Prepare and cut apples just before mixing to prevent browning, or treat with lemon juice if prepping in advance.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly dry; start checking around 45 minutes as oven times vary.
